Say I have the following:

And I want to insert some stuff before it ** (notice the unclosed div)**: $('#content').before('

Solution 1:

You can't insert partial or unclosed tags. Inserting elements in the DOM must insert only whole elements.

Your choices are:

  1. Extract the element you want to be wrapped in your new element, insert the new container object and then put your original element into the container.

  2. Manipulate the HTML of a parent directly (generally not recommended).

  3. Use the jQuery .wrap() method which does the option in #1 for you. See here for more info on jQuery's .wrap().
